John Tarjavaara

Licensed RE Salesperson

New York can be a very tough market for people wanting peace, quiet and value for money in the city that never sleeps. The first step in finding your piece of New York City begins when you start working with real estate salesperson, John Tarjavaara.

With John’s connections and expertise, many of his clients not only secure the apartment they hoped for—they also make a true connection with someone who will continue to assist them in their real estate needs. Most of John’s professional book of business comes from repeat clients and referrals from those who enjoyed their home search. As a result, John is a trusted advisor when his rental clients start the purchase process. John also assists International clients who are relocating to New York City or looking to rent homes for their children who are studying in New York or who are looking to invest in real estate.

John's philosophy is simple: match your individual needs and price point to a shortlist from the thousands of properties and exclusive listings on his New York property database. "My job is not complete until I find the exact apartment that my clients love to come home to at the end of every day."

John's clients agree:

“John is incredible. He works tirelessly for his clients to find the best apartments in NYC. I think he must have showed us 50 places and then negotiated a great lease term. He did this all during a record snow fall. I would recommend this pro without hesitation.” Mike Ryan

"I really believe that you sold the apartment by treating it as if it were your own investment. I was amazed by your swift response each and every time to the changing situation even though I was in France and you were in New York. I also really felt that by ensuring the paperwork reached the right people at the right time you went an extra mile in the sale. Thank you once again," Elinor Kennedy – seller of 350 W14th St #7-A

"You are indeed a great broker. Seriously. Of the hundreds that we have dealt with over the years, you are amongst the very top in productivity, professionalism, and pleasantness to deal with. And your feat of finding this one-in-a-million perfect couple and perfect deal is so amazing it really could be part of a movie script. " ~ Steve owner of loft residences in Tribeca

"For eleven months, we tried a number of other agents who were either uninformed about the rental market or hopelessly disorganized. Then we met John: twice now he has found us tenants within three weeks, shepherded the application process through the board with patience and dexterity, and acted as liaison with our tenants while we were overseas. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with John for many years to come!" ~ S Brown, 211 Madison Avenue
